How do Stand-Alone Towers count aircraft landing and departing within the Towers airspace but not at the primary airport? There are no provisions for counting these in the standard?
Since there are no provisions in the TTAP program for Towers to count secondary operations, it has been determined that Towers be permitted to count these operations as overflights. For example, a hospital is located 2 miles from the airport in Towers airspace where helicopter traffic frequently depart and exit Towers airspace. The Tower would count that helicopter operation as an overflight.
